Draft of Cabriolet Buying Guide

…..I think I got carried away slightly…..

It's 18 pages of pics with text…!!!

(edit)

The pdf file is 1.12 mb….!!!! (can't understand why my Acrobat creates bigger files compared to originals!!!!)

The web page is BIG…..needs splitting into subject pages and no links yet…!!! So it may take a while to load.

To download the pdf file from the web page below just right click on the link and then 'Save Target As….'

REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A DRAFT VERSION AND MUST NOT BE USED AS GOSPEL.

Have fun folks. All constructive criticism welcome, either here or by email (see web page below)

Prowler - I'm not looking to buy a cab but this is top notch mate - nice one!

At Lotus Esprit World (my other passion) you have to pay ?1 for a buying checklist and similar things. Maybe worth thinking about for non-members?? :dontknow:

Thanks Hairy….

Been wondering about this for a while…..
For Club Members free…
….but charge non members….?
….or ask for donation…..?

But would it put off prospective new Mk1 (Cabby) fans….?
Would we get much revenue for the Club from it….?
Maybe once this is finalised we put a request for a donaton on the front page / or ….

That's a very nice site BTW (always fancied a Lotus…)

I suppose if the Club charges non members the 'carrot' would be the pic i've just inserted in my original post at the top…..

Anyway, this is not for me to decide. How would it be monitored - extra work for someone….!!

I anticipate that the final version will have 2 or 3 more pages……keep thinking of things to add……

I guess it would be easy with a (planned) members only section! :wink:
